UN OCHA: Monthly Humanitarian Bulletin-Occupied Palestinian Territories

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (UN OCHA oPt) publishes a monthly Humanitarian Bulletin.  The current Bulletin for February is now available.

Highlights:

  • In the Gaza Strip, 58,000 people have so far bought restricted building materials for repairs, but almost none of them are IDPs whose homes were destroyed or severely damaged.
  • Israel eases access restrictions in and out of Gaza, including a rise in the quota of exit permits for Palestinian merchants and approval for the transfer of textiles and furniture to the West Bank.
  • Infrastructure works launched in one of the sites designated for the “relocation” of Bedouins in Area C of the West Bank, alongside the issuance of multiple stop-work orders against donor-funded structures in Bedouin communities at risk.
